RUSH: Now, Stephen Hawking has passed away, age 76, the longest
surviving human in history with ALS. He had a variation of this disease
that was not as deadly as the primary form of the disease is. Living to
76 with ALS is a big deal, and he’s been acknowledged as the smartest,
the most intelligent, the brightest, years and years — light years —
ahead of everybody in terms of knowledge of the universe and quantum
physics and laser physics, astrophysics, all of physics’ fields. He’s
just light years ahead of everybody, acknowledged to be smarter than
anybody in the world.

Yet this guy said that we’ve got 200 years… Where have we heard this
before? “We have 200 years! If we don’t figure out how to colonize
someplace else, we’ve got 200 years and we’re toast.” Now, would
somebody explain to me where else that we can go? Is there a planet
that supports life right now? Would somebody explain this to me? Where
is it? What are we gonna colonize? I’m not trying to be disrespectful
to Professor Hawking. Folks, I’m just a college dropout radio guy. I
just have common sense, everyday questions.

A guy says to me, “We’re toast in 200 years unless we figure out how to
colonize X.” What? The moon? Mars? We’re gonna have to create global
warming someplace, wherever we go, to be able to live there. You ever
stop to think about that? I mean, and everybody swoons and thinks,
“Wow, man! He’s so far ahead of all of us.” And I don’t doubt that, in
his field, there’s no question he was light years ahead of everybody
and there’s no way to prove it. We just all accepted it. But this
colonizing someplace else?

It’s not just him. Elon Musk is on this. You know, all of these Silicon
Valley brain wizards say, “The earth is gonna destroy us! Global
warming, climate change are gonna destroy us. We’re gonna run out of
this, run out of that.” We’re not running out of anything. Natural
resources are increasing. Life expectancy is increasing. Life on earth
has never been better than it is today in any statistical way that you
want to measure it, and yet the doom-and-gloom crowd says, “Two hundred
years! Two hundred…” That means the people who are gonna eventually
colonize have not been born yet.

(interruption) Just did what? (interruption) I know he just…
(interruption) This is not the first time I have raised questions…
(interruption) Okay. Wait a minute, now. Snerdley and the staff are
saying, “I can’t believe you did this. The guy just passed away!” Okay.
What am I supposed to do? “Folks, I wish to join Professor Hawking in
encouraging you and every one of us to begin immediately working on
transferring our entire population to somewhere else. We’ve got 200
years to figure it out, and I today come before you to endorse…”

Is that what I was supposed to do because he passed away?
(interruption) I don’t want you to hit the delay button. This is not a
sign of disrespect. Is it sounding like a sign of disrespect? You know…
(interruption) Of course I know I’m the only one in the world…
(interruption) It’s not just on the day of Stephen Hawking passing
away. I mean, Elon Musk mentions this, you know, twice a month, and
whenever I hear about it, I say the same thing: “Where are we gonna go,
and how are we gonna get one billion people there?

[...]

I have all kinds of… You know, the Big Bang. Let’s look at the Big
Bang. People accept that the Big Bang is how all of this began. Now,
again, folks, I have a belief. One of the ways I have proven to myself…
‘Cause I think we’ve all tried to do this. We accept the faith, but
then we still test it. As long as there are questions that we can ask…
Meaning, we have been created with the intelligence to create or ask
these questions, this quest for knowledge.

If there are questions we can ask to which we will never have the
answers, then that gives me confidence that there is more than just
life on earth. What is the point of creating beings who can ponder such
places if they don’t exist? Certainly the Big Bang. Again, I’ll admit
I’m just a college dropout radio guy, okay? I’m not a professional
physicist. I’m not a professional scientist. I do not own a lab coat,
white or light blue. So they tell me that the Big Bang is where
everything began. Hawking says it’s the Big Bang and we’re still
expanding.

I’m the guy who predicted a Trump victory against all odds in the 2016
election. I also predicted a “Trump Miracle” for the economy. Here’s my
new prediction: President Trump guaranteed his re-election last week.

Liberals must be sick to their stomachs. No matter what they do or say,
no matter how hard they try to distract us from the booming economy,
the “Trump Miracle” shines through.

I was going to write about the Trump administration’s war with
California, illegal immigration and liberal politicians serving as
“lookouts” for illegal felons. This move is cheered by middle-class
Americans sick of being treated like second-class citizens. Brilliant.
But this topic will have to wait.

Then I decided to write about Trump’s new tariffs on steel and
aluminum, backed on stage at the White House by cheering blue-collar
steel and aluminum workers. Trump kept his campaign promise to fight
for American workers and American jobs. His move was cheered equally by
Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and liberal Silicon Valley
billionaire Elon Musk. Trump just won the votes of millions of
working-class Americans. This is not your father’s GOP. Brilliant. But
this topic, too, will have to wait.

Although I will make a prediction. Trump exempted Mexico from his
tariffs — for now. Why? I predict he will demand Mexico either pay for
the wall or face a 25 percent steel tariff. One way or another, Mexico
will pay for Trump’s wall. Brilliant.

A
new Axios/Survey Monkey poll came out before all this amazing news. It
showed that if the 2018 election were held today, five Democrat
incumbent U.S. senators — in West Virginia, Missouri, North Dakota,
Montana and Indiana — would be defeated decisively. And three more — in
Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin — are leading by only single digits.

Then I decided to write about Trump’s remarkable breakthrough with Kim
Jong Un of North Korea. First, Little Kim announced he wanted to
discuss nuclear disarmament. Then he shocked the world by inviting
Trump to meet in person. Trump accepted. Trump’s blustery taunts and
intimidation tactics worked. Trump pulled off what no other modern U.S.
president could. But this topic will also have to wait.

That’s because the new job numbers just came out. I almost jumped
through the roof. The Trump economy is exploding. In the end, this is
what matters. Americans always vote with their pocketbooks. The economy
is booming like nothing seen since Reagan.

The Trump economy added a resounding 313,000 jobs in February, crushing
expectations. It was the biggest “beat versus expectations” in almost a
decade. And to top it off, December job growth was revised upward from
160,000 to 175,000 and January from 200,000 to 239,000.

The number of employed Americans rose to 155.215 million — the highest
in history. The number of black Americans employed hit an all-time
record high of 19.087 million. And a record 72.530 million women were
employed. The 4.9 percent unemployment rate of Hispanic workers is at
all-time lows, too.

I remember when I wrote at Fox News way back in 2015 that Donald Trump
would be the greatest president for blacks, Hispanics, women and gays
ever — simply because of the job creation numbers.

But I saved the really great news for last. Counting full- and
part-time job gains, the Trump economy added a total of 1.006 million
jobs in February — the biggest gain this century. That number included
an amazing 729,000 full-time jobs. Not the crappy part-time jobs of the
Obama era, but real, quality, high-paying, middle-class U.S. jobs.

Trump has changed politics. The GOP is going to pick up seats in the
2018 midterm elections. Then Trump is headed for a landslide
re-election.

It's one thing to be armed with facts; it's quite another to have the
ability to articulate them as deliciously as Kimberley Strassel does
here. Yes, you will want to applaud, even though there's nobody

days agoBeen
following Kimberly Strassel for years, she is simply the best very
succinct, to the point, and all factual! To the Left, this is what is
known as facts, I'd love to see the Left try to dispute any one of her
factual statements. Go ahead and try to call her a conspiracy theorist,
I dare you! This is how bad the Left is, despicable!﻿

For some reason I
looked again this morning for the "Clinton
Chronicles" on YouTube.
Although its contents were widely disseminated (on Free Republic, but
hardly anywhere else), I was loathe to spend $25
for the video. Should have. Watch until you get bored (won't).
Note that a lot of those Clintoids are still active today. And, of
course, the media are still not willing to mention it, or their role in
the continuing cover-up.

I note one anomaly.
Paula Jones claimed that Bill only dropped trou
and asked her for a BJ, which she refused. Later, of course, she
claimed he raped and bit her her lip bloody. On his way Willy
said "you'd better put some ice
on that." I'll guess that at that
early point Paula was loath to admit she'd been raped. It was Juanita Broaddrick. Time for me to quit

"This
was an executive order and a 636-page annex issued on March 1 by U.S.
President Donald Trump and the Department of Defense to get civilian
legal help and prepare the public for Cabal Nuremberg-type military.

"The
essence of these orders was that all U.S. civilians would be subject to
military justice and that the military would be able to hire
non-military legal experts to help with the upcoming tribunals,
according to Pentagon sources.

End
game for cabal as Nuremberg II tribunals loom

The
essence of these orders was that all U.S. civilians shall be
subject to military justice and that the military will be able to hire
non-military legal experts to help with the upcoming tribunals,
according to Pentagon sources. The following clause on page 2 of Annex
2 is of particular interest, in that it describes one exercise of
military jurisdiction as: “A government temporarily governing the civil
population within its territory or a portion of its territory through
its military forces as necessity may require. (Martial law).”

Pentagon sources explain that, “Trump signed Executive Order 3/1 to
amend the court martial manual to get civilian legal help and prepare
the public for Nuremberg II military tribunals of the cabal before
truth and reconciliation.” It appears that at least some mass murderers
are not going to get away with just saying “sorry.”

The other big move by the Trump government last week was to fire the
first salvoes of a trade war. The first blast was an announcement that
the U.S. would be putting tariffs of 25% and 10%, respectively, on
steel and aluminum imports.

This is strange to say the least, because the move mostly targets U.S.
allies. Canada, which had a $7.7 billion trade deficit with the U.S. in
2017, accounts for 16% and 41%, respectively, of U.S. steel and
aluminum imports. China, which had a $288 billion trade surplus with
the U.S. in 2017, only accounts for 2% and less than 1%, respectively,
of U.S. steel and aluminum imports. The other big victims of these
planned tariffs are supposed allies like Japan, South Korea, and Brazil.

It is also clear that this move is not connected to the U.S. military.
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mathis sent a letter to the Commerce
Department noting that the U.S. military only uses 3% of U.S. steel and
aluminum manufacturing capability, and that he was concerned about the
move’s “negative impact on our key allies.”

On the surface, it seems the cowboys in the Trump Commerce Department
are more eager to bully weak countries than to actually deal with the
U.S. $800 billion a year trade deficit.

If the fight were really about trade, then the U.S. should have slapped
tariffs on the $262 billion worth of electronic equipment and machinery
it imports from China every year. The Commerce cowboys did not target
China because they need to make sure China lends them more money to
keep bankruptcy at bay.

The real reason for the Trump regime attack on Canada and other allies
is...(Full report will be posted

The

"The
Constitution does not delegate to the United States the power to create
“independent” entities. (See the U.S. Const.) Indeed, such a
power
could create entities that would destroy our government.

What
does impact every inhabitant is that the rule of law has become an
utter joke, especially under the regimes of the last three Attorney
Generals. Sadly President Trump got snookered by former Senator Jeff
Sessions when he was picked to lead the Department of Justice, better
described as UNJUSTICE by anyone who has half a brain left to admit the
true condition of the top cops, head attorneys or government pseudo
magistrates.

At the outset the authority of the President to manage executive
agencies is summed up in clear language by John Lucas, The FBI and DOJ
are not independent entities.

"The Constitution does not delegate to the United States the power to
create “independent” entities. (See the U.S. Const.) Indeed, such
a
power could create entities that would destroy our government.

Because there are no “independent” governmental entities, each such
entity is subject to oversight, i.e., it answers to a superior. That
includes Intelligence Agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and an “Independent” or Special
Counsel. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is not free to do as he wishes.
Here is why.

Normally
observers of the deep state would speculate that Sessions is being
blackmailed to keep his distance from any meaningful investigative
inquiry, criminal prosecution or draining of the swamp.

The Executive Branch, headed by President Donald J. Trump, is in charge
of the FBI and DOJ. President Trump is the chief law enforcement
officer of the nation. (U.S. Const., art II.) Congress has the
obligation of overseeing the Executive Branch. (U.S. Const., art. I.)
It is also true that the FBI is subordinate to the DOJ headed up by
Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Conclusion. President Trump, Attorney General Sessions, and Congress
have the Constitutional power to oversee Special Counsel Mueller, fire
him and his team, and to investigate the investigators if that is
deemed necessary."

Compare this standard with the Guidelines issued under the authority of
the Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey issued in 2008 as provided in
sections 509,510,533, and 534 of title 28, United States Code, and
Executive Order 12333. They apply to domestic investigative activities
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other activities as
provided herein.

Mukasey was the last competent AG. However, his protocols illustrate
the shortcomings when lawyers are left to define the law and how legal
agencies are supposed to function. Recognize that his successors Eric
H. Holder, Jr. and Loretta E. Lynch were outright crooks doing the
bidding of the chief felon, Barack Hussein Obama II of the District of
Crime syndicate.

By contrast, John N. Mitchell was a neophyte. If the G. Gordon Liddy
plumbers committed the crime of the last century, what exactly would
you call the Fast and the Furious Holder gun runner operation?

For over the last year, Jeff Sessions has been pretending to be the
Attorney General. No one can reasonably contend that he is President
Trump's Consigliere. Sessions has been AWOL from the beginning of his
appointment. Trump's recent description that AG Sessions should be
called Mr. Magoo is perfection. A person of extreme near-sightedness,
compounded by his stubborn refusal to admit the problem.

Normally observers of the deep state would speculate that Sessions is
being blackmailed to keep his distance from any meaningful
investigative inquiry, criminal prosecution or draining of the swamp.
Despite the seemingly obvious, Sessions may be just so far out of his
league that no uncanny streaks of luck will change the situation that
always seems to work itself out for him, leaving him no worse than
before.

This Mr. Magoo bozo has demeaned his entire life's work. His recusal
arguments are nothing but a betrayal of his sworn duty as the Attorney
General. Yet he is willing to disparage his office using tortured
abandonment of his actual responsibilities. His reply is laughable as
reported by the Washington Times, A defiant Sessions vows to ‘continue
my duties’ after Trump trashes ‘disgraceful’ FISA probe.

"Rohrabacher
said Sessions knew he was “setting in motion the establishment of a
special prosecutor” when he announced his recusal from the Russia
probe, and said the attorney general didn’t have any “real reason” to
step down from the investigation.

“As long as I am the Attorney General, I will continue to discharge my
duties with integrity and honor, and this Department will continue to
do its work in a fair and impartial manner according to the law and
Constitution.”

President Trump's assessment is dead on.

“Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate
potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial
power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an
Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!” Mr.
Trump tweeted.

Disagree if you wish, but Dana Rohrabacher: Trump 'has a legitimate
right' to feel betrayed by Jeff Sessions, expresses the reaction from a
Congressman of courage.

"Rohrabacher said Sessions knew he was “setting in motion the
establishment of a special prosecutor” when he announced his recusal
from the Russia probe, and said the attorney general didn’t have any
“real reason” to step down from the investigation.

The California congressman also accused Sessions of betraying those who
were confident in him.

“The American people now are getting a taste of what people in
Washington have known over this last year, and that is Jeff Sessions
betrays the people who have had faith in him — faith in him to do his
job and faith in him not to succumb to pressures from the outside, like
from CNN and other news bureaus to try to do their bidding,”
Rohrabacher said."

Let's get real; Sessions is acting as if he is the AG under Obama or
Clinton. Who could imagine that corrupt Lynch or Holder would ever
conduct themselves as has Sessions? Certainly he is not onboard the
team Trump train nor does he demonstrate any concern for advancing the
President's agenda. Now that the House Intelligence Committee
Republicans report is public, Deputy AG Rosenstein under increasing
pressure as Trump refuses to say he backs him. The Chicago Tribune
cites "Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., said in a statement that he wanted
Attorney General Jeff Sessions to seek the criminal prosecution of
Rosenstein and several former Justice Department officials whom he
described as "traitors to our nation."

Does anyone really believe that Jeff Sessions would lead an effort to
indict Rod Rosenstein and the crew over at the FBI, who operate the
supreme RICO racket? The much reported restaurant get together hardly
looks like a proffer to support a plea bargain. On "America's Newsroom"
on Thursday, Weekly Standard editor-in-chief Steve Hayes said Sessions
"sent a message" to Trump by dining with Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein and Solicitor General Noel Francisco.

According to Joseph diGenova, Mr. Magoo, AKA Attorney General Jeff
Sessions Is ‘Not Up To’ His Job, Former Prosecutor Says. Going further
and to the point in the account, TRUMP
CALLS JEFF SESSIONS “MR. MAGOO”
for a very good reason.

“The
president has also been complaining to associates that he generally has
hired the best lawyers for himself, but that as president he’s forced
to use Sessions, who isn’t defending Trump to the best of his ability,
according to the Post.”
Admittedly, this is an article from a liberal source, the Hill, but in
this case, I hope it’s true because Trump needs to lose confidence with
Jeff’”

Admittedly, this is an article from a liberal source, the Hill, but in
this case, I hope it’s true because Trump needs to lose confidence with
Jeff Sessions.

Let’s hope Trump’s patience with Mr. Magoo is wearing out. We’ve had
over a year of bungling incompetence by the Attorney General during
which the Justice Department was hijacked by the Deep State, and a
witch hunt against Trump was initiated by Swamp Creatures at a time
when the Swamp should have been drained."

It is evident that many solid conservatives are most disappointed with
Jeff Sessions. Even if achieving Senator confirmation approval for a
new AG would be a difficult task, keeping Sessions as a bubbling figure
head as the Attorney General is a profound mistake. Why there was never
a complete cleaning of all Obama appointees is beyond belief and
legitimate criticism that Trump's confidence in Jeff Sessions has been
ill placed.

Oh, Magoo, you've done it again! "I have a vision problem today can't
see myself doing much." Such would be a very good motto for Jeff
Sessions.

The continuous attacks that Donald Trump is a despot prove to be vastly
out of place. On the contrary the actual totalitarians are the
operatives of Deep State establishment. If Sessions was a serious
dispenser of legal justice he would be implementing a top to bottom
cleansing of the DOJ and an expulsion of the FBI gangsters.

Judicial Watch's Director of Investigations Chris Farrell said FBI
Director Christopher Wray should be replaced and that the entire FBI
should be restructured as a "new investigative arm of the U.S. Marshals
Service." As long as Jeff 'Quincy Magoo' Sessions obstructs, refuses to
bring charges before a grand jury and seek indictments, President Trump
will be betrayed.

Saturday
morning, no electricity. Broken generator. Night spent wrapped
in
blankets. Not going to open the refrigerator, or freezer, so scooted to
the Giant for some sustenance. High on the list; coffee and
donuts. I had been noticing that this store was allocating
more and more space to coffee and tea. That means the profit
margins
are +++. Now, one entire side of an aisle is carved out for
them. A long
aisle. Okay, a good excuse to find out what the hell Cold Brew coffee is. And is it
worth $5 a bottle?

Short answer. No. This stuff caters to gen Starbucks. Oh,
BTW, this
Giant has a Starbucks concession up front; there are two more Starbucks
stores within 500 yards. When our kids stay here,
which is not that often anymore, the
first thing they do in the morning is drive to Starbucks for
coffee. Dun't matter that I
just brewed a pot of real stuff. And yes, we both add a bit
of bottled vanilla creamer, so we're not die hard black. To the point.
The (Starbucks brand) Cold Brew tastes like Ovaltine. Did
I say 5$ a bottle? Today is Monday and the Cold Brew is still in
the fridge, 75% full.

One more thing. I suspect that one day, if we survive the Deep
State
assault, scientists will discover a Starbucks additive causes brainal
neurons to misfire all over the place.

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." Isoroku Yamamoto

Whether Isoroku Yamamoto's "sleeping giant" quotation is falsely attributed to him or not it moot. The reason it resonated in the first place is because it's a statement of fact. Today, it could just as well be attributed to Deep State, and why disarming the citizenry is crucial to their agenda.

Qualified
shooters will be able to purchase the rifles and pistols on a lottery
basis, and will have to pass a background check both by the CMP and a
the licensed FFL where they pick up their new guns.

The
100,000 1911s slated for the Civilian Marksmanship Program(CMP) have
not yet been released, but Cheaper Than Dirt reports something nearly
as cool is happening.

Approximately 100,000 Turkish and Philippine M1 Garands have been
released to the CMP, and orders are currently being taken.

Former (Lord, I love saying that) President Barack Obama had signed an
order releasing the 1911s and Garands to the CMP in theory, but never
actually made them available (surprise, surprise), and shooters
despaired the guns would never find their way to the U.S.

Worry no more!

The CMP received the Garands over the last month or so. Currently, the
CMP is busy prepping the guns for sale. Each of the M1s will have to be
cleaned, inspected, potentially repaired or rebuilt, and then test
fired. Afterward, the M1 Garands will be sorted and graded, which
ultimately determines each rifle’s sale price.

The NRA says the M1s are already being fixed up, and the first shipment
of 1911s — which will be sold at a rate of 8-to-10,000 a year — have
been delivered to the CMP, as well.

“We’re excited to have the guns,” CMP Chief Operating Officer Mark
Johnson told the NRA. “We’ve been working on getting them for several
years, and it’s the first shipment of guns we’ve received in quite some
time.”

The M1 Garands ― about 86,000 from the Philippines and 13,000 from
Turkey ― were loaned to those countries following WWII under the
Military Assistance Program (MAP).
